Big deal
It is kind of a big deal to have your grandmother and great grandmother at your soccer game. ❤️
Adore...
I adore so much about my life. Life is crazy busy these days. I don't get to sit down ever. Like some days I feel like crying because all I want to do is sit down. Yet, somehow in the midst of the chaos I am granted moments of adoration for my life. So here's a few moments of my day that I just love these days....
Night time snuggles , I wouldn't trade these moments for the world. It combines he best things ever, my kids and sitting. ;)
Car drop off line: I know this sounds crazy but I love that sweet moment of a kiss and a hug, them bounding out the door excited for their day...
Soccer: I love watching whit play. It makes me happy and sad all at the same time! He is getting so big!
Kennedy conversations: I get a play by play of the 2nd grade drama. I hope she always feels like she can talk to me about how she feels. We have life lesson conversations daily and I love every minute of it!
Riley: old girl still has our hearts. I feel like I am on borrowed time with her and I am so thankful for each day she is with us. That precious dog has walked through so much with me.
Cash: he is free to a good home after eating my glasses, my uggs, and an American girl dol ;) it is a good thing we are in love or we might really give him to you! Somehow we became extreme dog lovers and I don't know what I would do without that big baby. He is my running buddy, my snuggle buddy, and the one who keeps me vacuuming on a daily basis. He just belongs here.
You know the moment that you look at your family and realize you are blessed beyond words? Like you search so hard for a way to explain it but nothing will do it justice? Sometimes it happens in big moments, like the day you first meet your child or the day you get married. Then sometimes God just gives you a random wends exact in October to be so overwhelmed with thankfulness that you just have to try to put it in words. There are days that are hard and I am not thankful. There are days I want to cry. Today, I want to make sure the blog world knows (if anyone reads this anymore) and the future me knows how much I have been blessed I am. This life, this precious life is worth the ups and downs. I am honored and humbled tonight to have been given so many blessings.

6!!
I remember it like it was yesterday. That moment we first found out he existed, the moment I heard he was a boy and I cried so hard because I never knew I wanted a boy so badly, the way he was so sweet to me while I was pregnant, to the moment he first looked at me and I was in love, the sweet little legs sticking out of a bubble, the precious knee socks and Jon jons, and so much more. It is so hard to put in words the love you have for your children. I wish so much they actually knew how much I love them. This little boy is our world. He makes me a better person. He is full of spunk, super shy to people he is unsure of, the life of the party with his friends, a serious school nerd, loves informational videos and learning how everything in the world works, loves anything the forms a pattern (yes, seriously), loves sharks and learning about them all the time, a Lego master, a baseball and soccer fanatic, loves anything about cars, spends countless hours just playing in his room imagining who knows what, loves his best friend drew with his whole heart, takes care of that big sis of his and depends on her a lot when he doesn't quite like a situation, is an animal lover, hunter of frogs, and the list goes on and on! And oh how he loves his mommy and daddy. I sure hope that lasts forever. He has always looked at me with this spark in his eyes that is just special for me.
You are a dream come true Whitfield Daniel. I didn't even have time to pray for you to exist, you just showed up! I love each moment and season of your sweet childhood. This year your birthday was filled with everything you wanted to do! You woke up to a soccer field in the yard. You wanted donuts for breakfast and McDonald's for lunch! We enjoyed an afternoon at the raptor center seeing all the animals and topped it all off with el som, cake, and the Prosser Olliff soccer game! I am so thankful we have you in our lives. You are so incredibly stubborn (you get that from me) and give us a run for our money a lot of times, but it is all worth it. You are a light in our family and I can't imagine life without you. My prayer for you is that you grow to be a God fearing man, who loves his family like you do now, who looks for the best in people, and knows that each day you are loved by me. I am beyond honored to be your mommy whit. It is a gift I don't take lightly and a gift that can never be topped. I hope you always know how much daddy and I adore you. Happy 6th birthday little boy!

Porch sittin
I used to sit in these chairs on my front porch and pray really hard. I spent endless hours with Sarah out here contemplating life. I have taken up porch sitting again. It is nice to just stop and think for a little while... Although in front of me my yard is full of hustle and bustle of kids and puppies now. I am blessed beyond words
